Yeah Tone, let it go. What good does it do anyone to remember how and why things got fucked up and who did it?

What benefit ever came from remembering the past, analysing what went wrong and knowing that injustice is a crime even if it was a while ago?

I mean, when Obama was at Buchenwald last week banging on about racism and stuff we were all sat here thinking 'sheesh fella, it was a long time ago. Even longer than Thatcher. Let it go, dude'.

Merrick, my friend. I'm sure you will agree that there is a huge difference between learning the lessons of the past, how things got fucked up, who did it and how we make sure it doesn't happen again and wishing death, injury and bad health on the person to blame for it.

One is learning the lessons of history, and the other is a pointless waste of effort.
